mRNA Process Development

The Importance of mRNA Process Development
  • Circular plasmid DNA (pDNA), as the starting material, should be completely linearized to produce a defined length RNA transcript.
  • As a common synthesis strategy for RNA molecules, in vitro transcription (IVT) allows us to obtain customized transcripts efficiently. IVT is a complex reaction requiring a mixture of DNA template, RNA polymerase, RNase inhibitor, inorganic pyrophosphatase, co-factors, unmodified or modified nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs), and buffer to produce mRNA transcripts. The ideal RNA yield cannot be achieved with a single solution, as it is contingent upon various reaction factors Additionally, the IVT reaction may be sequence-dependent.
  • After the IVT reaction, the product- and process-related impurities (e.g., dsRNA, truncated RNA fragments, DNA template, NTPs, and RNA polymerase) should be removed to obtain pure mRNA as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
